US Social Forum Info Session
Wednesday Mar 31, 6:30PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)
Join us to learn about the U.S. Social Forum process and what will be happening in Detroit this June. The US Social Forum Field Organizer Organizer, Akudo Ejelonu, and the National Youth organizer, Jardyn Lake, will join us and tell us about the social forum process, give us reports from other cities they have visited on the east coast and hear our ideas, hopes and plans for Baltimore's participation at the social forum. We especially encourage young people to attend to hear about transportation plans for getting to the forum.
Even if you are not planning to go to Detroit, you are definitely welcome to come and learn about all the organizing going on around the country - especially for People's Movement Assemblies!
What is the US Social Forum?
The US Social Forum is a movement-building process to build a powerful multi-racial, multi-sector, inter-generational, diverse, inclusive, internationalist movement that transforms this country and changes history. It is schedule for June 22-26, 2010 in Detroit, Michigan. To learn more about the US Social Forum go to: http://www.ussf2010.org/
Registration is already open. Workshop and Cultural submissions can be made until April 20th. For more information, check the website at www.ussf2010.org
The Forum builds off the decade old process of the World Social Forum. With the intentional work of being by grassroots, low-income, people of color, young people, and LGBTQI communities, the forum is built by the grassroots for the grassroots to ensure that those affected by issues are at the center of movement responses and actions. It is a movement-building process that opens space for convergence, strategy exchange, and expanding our visions under the banner Another World is Possible. Another US is Necessary. A New Detroit is Underway.
